The ITDP report assumes a bixi-style system where there's no flexibility of bike locations, which is not the case. The 10-30 bikes/1000 residents number is also somewhat questionable since cities like Paris, which are often cited as a model of bikeshare globally, doesn't even meet that ratio.

As well, we don't have $15.7 million to spend on a bikeshare program- we have to work within our resources. If there is as much demand as you think, then it's an easier case to show we need to increase investment in the system and then do it.
